The Music of Acadiana Performance Series in Arnaudville focuses on historically-rooted genres, with unique rhythms and personalities that have been transformed with modern sounds, instruments and musicians. We also provide opportunities for independent singer/songwriters. To name a few, Honky Tonk, Old Time, Irish, Gospel, Blues jam sessions and suppers.
Essentially, we present music sessions (jams) every Sunday followed by dinner concerts. Each Session has a lead musician that provides for a musician/mentoring segment and takes place in Café NUNU overlooking historic Bayou Teche. Sessions are free and open to the general public. Any and all musicians are encouraged to participate. Following each Session, focus shifts to the Frederick Stage and the Performance component in NUNU's Nightlite where local musicians are featured.
The last weekend of the month we focus on indigenous music including-Cajun, swamp blues, swamp pop and Creole (which later influenced zydeco). This component of the Music of Acadiana Performance Series is part of the over-arching initiative, “Nous autres, on est fier de parler français” whereby varied opportunities to use French are available including: a conversation table (La Table Française d’Arnaudville), French Catholic mass at St. Francis Regis Church and coming in September, a house dance (Bal de Maison) and film series.
Culinary Artist Roxanna Marks prepares delicious fare. $12 includes dinner, music and dessert, $6 for kids 12 and under. Beverages including Arnaudville’s local brew LA 31 Pale Ale, the Green Mary and an assortment of Organic teas are available for purchase.
